Does anyone have a capture of what this 'confidence check' looks like? I must admit I'm not familiar with any other regions doing them in recent memory - I think BBC East (West) did it in 2016 at some point when I lived in that region.
Birmingham certainly did do them when they tested the 'Child Rescue Alert' astons in 2006/7 time - not sure they ever actually used this in anger or if it's even a thing anymore - they did make a song and dance about it at the time. Might have just been a trial? But they tested it 3 times over network programmes in the evening - each time they did it they'd have a pause symbol top left of the picture then the aston would appear (the standard Midlands Today aston of the time with a yellow band across the top).
